Some session musicians should have been more known on their own thanks to the promise they did augment on the pieces they did under their own names alone. Ellen Foley, for instance, should've had a much better solo career. Mind you, she's doing fine, but she remains heavily underappreciated despite her eclecticism. Check her debut – you can tell she sang many backing vocals to Meat Loaf. Thus, Night Out combines her Jim Steinman experience with Ziggy Stardust as both Mick Ronson and Ian Hunter produced the record. However, this mixture may sound off – I ask myself what would Steinman have done with Bowie –, yet the whole thing functions much better than one could've assumed. The tune on the link, for instance, might be one of the best expressions of an ephemereal nocturnal euphoria.

Ellen Foley, asociada de Meat Loaf, novia de Mick Jones, asociada a Clash, en su fantasmal y épica noche de fiesta que dio título a su fantástico debut en 1979, muchísimo mejor que “Spirit of St. Louis”, por mucho que le acompañaran los Clash al completo y le compusieran las canciones. En los créditos de esta joya del rock USA 70s: Mick Ronson, Ian Hunter, Martin Briley, Tom Mandel, Kerryn Tolhurst, Hilly Michaels, Rory Dodd, Bob Clearmountain, Harvey Goldberg. Producido por Hunter y Ronson.

Atando cabos (colaboraciones, producciones, etc) nos encontramos ante un especial rock USA 70s mainstream con conexiones UK,  profesional,  apasionado y épico: Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Meat Loaf, Todd Rundgren, Utopia, Jim Steinman, Blue Öyster Cult, The Clash, Mott The Hopple, Hunter, Ronson, Genya Ravan, Ellen Foley, Karla Devito, hasta el mismo Lou Reed derivando a gente más o menos underground como Dictators, Helen Wheels, Television, New York Dolls, etc...
